Katie, The Ordinary Witch

The old Theatre in Katie's town is reopening - and the first performance is a musical about a young witch. Katie's friend Isis is very keen to audition for the part - the only problem is that she can't sing or dance! Katie comes to her friend's aid with a little magic - and unexpected results.

Katie is learning Latin - the language of the ancient Romans - at school. What's the point of this deadbeat language? Her mother says there is every point to learning Latin, especially if you are a witch who needs to understand magic. And as Katie is not making much progress, her mother finds her a Latin Tutor - a highly unusual one as it turns out.

Katie's birthday is on its way. Last year her mum gave her a book on Botany! This time she wants some rollerblades and a computer. But her mum thinks that rollerblades are dangerous and computers cost a lot of money. She goes for a walk in the botanical gardens with her best friend, Isis. They are surprised to see Katie's cat, Solomon, is there too. So Katie turns Isis and herself into cats, and they follow Solomon through the undergrowth. What do they discover? Katie the Witch returns to Storynory!

This story is about telling fibs, and it’s also about bullying. Sometimes it is hard to say who the real bully is - because of course the smart bullies don’t go around with a badge saying “I am a bully.”

Katie is an ordinary school girl; apart from one thing, she's a witch and can do magic spells. Her mother is a witch too - and her father is a scientist who investigates magic. But experimenting with magic can be dangerous - as her dad finds out in this highly amusing episode in our popular Katie series.

The Musical Monkey is caught in this story. Do you think he will end up on the dinner table? Or will he have yet another trick up his sleeve? Well, he hasn't got a sleeve, but if he did, he might have a trick up it.

It's only natural for parents to worry, and sometimes they worry a little too much. Once, a girl was beautiful - and her parents worried that she was too pretty. They were so concerned that they sent her out into the world with a bowl over her head. Poor girl! How could she find a job? How could she find love? When she had a bowl over her head? People were laughing at her. Even the fairies of the wood thought she was funny. Support Storynory on Patreon https://patreon.com/storynory

It's the time of year when the weather should be perfect, but the rain and the wind are continuous. Could there be some magical connection between Katie's mother and the weather?
